Precautions to avoid the risk

Risk Rating (1:Very Low to 5:

Very High)

Torture scenes

Actors

Make sure the characters know what

they are meant to be doing and ensure
they know the risks of the scene.

5- The torture scenes involve

dangerous equipment and different
materials such as axes and fake
blood which can be very harmful to
the body.

Tripping over
objects in the
basement

Actors,
Cinematographer,
Director and Editor

Make sure all equipment and objects are

tucked away nicely somewhere that is
out of foot reach. Also if there are any
chairs we will tuck them underneath or
remove them so they do not affect us in
any way.

3- We will have a lot of equipment

and bags around the basement
which can be very hazardous as we
may trip over them and severely
injure ourselves. This can easily be
avoided.

Carrying heavy
equipment

Actors,
Cinematographer,
Director and Editor

Make sure everyone carries an equal

amount of objects so it doesnt have to
much strain as well as taking our time
with carrying the objects or once our
arms get tired leave them for a bit.

3- Carrying heavy equipment can

be very risky as they may drop on
someone's foot or even break the
equipment.

Straining your eyes

Editor

Make sure the editor takes breaks in

between editing the scenes so that his
eyes do not strain which may have a
long term negative effect. And make
sure he is with in a reasonable distance
from the screen

4- If the editor stares at the

computer for too long it may strain
their eyes making them hurt and
burn. This can ruin the editors eyes
irreversibly.

Handling props

Actors,
Cinematographer,
Director and Editor

Make sure we handle all props and

equipment with care so that they do not
harm us in any way, for instance we
have to make sure the axe is handled
with great care as it can easily cut the
skin.

5- Our props are very dangerous

equipment that can harm the body
by cutting it etc. in order to prevent
this we need to handle them with
great care to ensure no one gets
hurt.

Straining your wrist

Cinematographer

Make sure the cinematographer takes

breaks in between scenes so that his
hands dont get tired which also
decreases the risk of any type of injuries.

3- The cinematographer may strain

their wrist if they carry their filming
equipment for to long which will
make it harder for them to use the
equipment and therefore
